LOWE, Margaret Sloss - November 29, 1919-June 26, 2004 "Peggy" as she liked to be called, died peacefully just short of what would have been her 65th wedding anniversary. She and her late husband, William L. Lowe happily celebrated their 60th anniversary in 1999 surrounded by all the family. She was a fourth generation San Franciscan, a descendant of Marcus Koshland and Louis Sloss. Her talents were many. She excelled at flower arranging, entertaining, bridge and community service. Until last year when illness set in, she could be found on the tennis court or possibly traveling the world. She was also an exceptional mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She attended Miss Burke's and Smith College. A member of the Woodside-Atherton Garden Club, she was an award winning floral arranger and a highly respected judge. She served as board president of Children's Hospital at Stanford and was a member of several committees of the San Francisco Symphony. Summers were spent with family and friends on the porch of the house she and Bill built in Glenbrook, Lake Tahoe. She is survived by her three children, David Lowe of Port Townsend, WA, Ellie Kinczel of Oakland and Jean Lowe of Paso Robles; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and her brother Louis Sloss of Forestville. As per her wishes, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital, the San Francisco Symphony, or a charity of your choice.
